“When I was younger, I wanted to own a circus and create this bizarre revue that went from town to town. And, I was interested in set design and doing theater. And then, I was painting for a while. It was all circling around creating an intense experience for an audience of one, or an audience of many.” WantedAudienceDesignPaintingCreatingTheaterTownsIntenseBizarreCircusAudience Of One Author:Neil Burger
“Cinema is a kind of pan-art. It can use, incorporate, engulf virtually any other art: the novel, poetry, theater, painting, sculpture, dance, music, architecture. Unlike opera, which is a (virtually) frozen art form, the cinema is and has been a fruitfully conservative medium of ideas and styles of emotions.” KindHas BeensArtIdeasUseFormEmotionNovelStylePaintingTheaterConservativeArchitectureMediumsCinemaMovieOperaFrozenSculptureDance Music Author:Susan Sontag
“God comes to us in theater in the way we communicate with each other, whether it be a symphony orchestra, or a wonderful ballet, or a beautiful painting, or a play.

“I like movies! No, I like theater too. And paintings are great, and all of that! But to me, the great sort of artistic medium I think, of our time, is film. I really feel that.

“When I saw what painting had done in the last thirty years, what literature had done - people like Joyce and Virginia Woolf, Faulkner and Hemingway - in France we have Nathalie Sarraute - and paintings became so strongly contemporary while cinema was just following the path of theater.

“For me, art is always a kind of theater. When I started the spot paintings I made them as an endless series. But I was never serious about it being an endless series.

“I am adamant that we must not cut back on funding of the teaching of the arts in the schools: music, painting, theater, dance, all of it.

“We are not simply intellectual creatures. We wish to make love, to enjoy a gourmet dinner, to jog in the park, to cheer lustily at a ball game, to engage in spirited conversation with our friends, to play bridge or tennis, travel to exotic places, struggle with others to build a better world, and to enjoy the arts. The arts are so vital because they help to make life worth living. Music, poetry, literature, paintings, dance, and the theater are among our richest joys...The fine arts contribute immeasurably to the good life and that is why we cherish them.” WorldArtPlayHelpingJoyLiteratureGamesWishEnjoyStrugglePaintingFineConversationCreaturesIntellectualBallsTheaterDinnerBridgesParksTennisCherishCheerGood LifeMaking LoveWorth LivingExoticFine ArtsSpiritedLife Worth LivingBall GamesGourmetExotic Places Author:Paul Kurtz
